I Am The Resurrection And The Life - John 11: 17-25
Jesus speaks truth personally here
of Himself there is surely no doubt
rising from the dead He certainly did
this His gospel powerfully is all about
This is the life full of all that's eternal
compared with earthly life down here
why would anyone want to stay on earth?
if they could they're life be full of fear
Jesus is the resurrection from death
for He did die breathing a final breath
but God raised His son to life as He would
this the eternal son of God to never see death
Believing on God's son is so important
for in believing in Christ you are His
living the life that's only found in Christ
this is such a blessed resurrection bliss
What a picture this all conveys
displaying His great love on His elect
Jesus cries I am the resurrection and life
His own know they owe a great debt
